Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Philadelphia

Rhea T. • November 8, 2014The steak frite is to die for. Also the homemade fries 😊

Brian • June 13, 2017Get the Katydid or the Black and White ice cream sandwich. Their ice cream is money too!

Andrew F. • March 25, 2018Awesome space with tons of good coffee. They roast the beans in the back.

Sandra R. • March 27, 2023Apps and entrees come out all at once so be ready with a group to dive in. Favorites included spicy duck salad, shrimp and lotus root salad, coconut crab curry and skirt steak. Decor is lovely, too.

Shay G. • July 16, 2016An absolutely perfect shop. Great coffee, lots of events, and of course comics and merch!

Tristan R. • March 21, 2017Spacious and trendy coffee shop that also serves beer and cocktails as well as baked goods and sandwiches. Stop in to get some work done or relax after work.

Caroline L. • September 22, 2018Get the lamb hummus and Lebanese chai latte

Doris R. • August 8, 2011Great atmosphere! Staff are friendly. Menu could be expanded to include more items! But overall it's a nice place to meet friends and have a good time!

Jenna L. • October 27, 2016Best breakfast in the city. If you don't get the challah stuffed French toast you're missing out. Service is fast/tends to be busy, but bar seating is likely available. SERIOUSLY GET THE FRENCH TOAST.

Emily W. • February 22, 2017This restaurant could succeed fantastically in NYC; here in Philly it stands out in a big way. Order a cocktail, at least one pizza, and the best thing on the menu: Messinesi.

Christian P. • August 27, 2018Awesome spot! Get the hoagie waffle, if available. Be sure to use the bug spray they have on hand if you plan on sitting outside.

Andre P. • June 28, 2014Get the Cubano. Now an off menu favorite.

Debi M. • June 23, 2013Butter cake and the pound cakes are awesome no one makes it better been coming here for 48 years all our specialty cakes come from here , even my 25 th wedding anniversary cake!

John Paul C. • October 19, 2019Everything. Crispy rice appetizer was excellent, the Henrietta roll was my favorite, the paella was massive

Philadelphia Magazine • August 14, 2012Try Honey's scrapple. Whether served simply or stuffed into a buttermilk pancake with scrambled eggs and maple syrup (the Breakfast Bomb) you really can’t go wrong.

Justin D. • October 6, 2017Really great Caribbean food, line gets long but it's definitely good

Jason R. • July 4, 2016You can build your own pizza or modify anything on their menu. My personal favorite: margherita, add ricotta.

Rich H. • February 16, 2012Specialty pies such as the Federico, Truffle steak, and arugula and artichoke are amazing.

RC • May 10, 2016Very awesome and chill place. If you can't find a beer to drink here, you don't like beer. The food is fairly good too and they have TouchTunes!

Rochelle M. • January 5, 2014Food and service both incredible. Try the roasted sweet potato Brussel sprout goat cheese egg white omelet!

toycanmakeamess • December 21, 2018The fried chicken itself is like no other. I love their macaroni salad, which is a little sweet. The corn bread is phenomenal as well!

Mike C. • March 23, 2017Always a must, this pizza shop is dubbed the World's First Pizza Museum. With jumbo slices and tons of great memorabilia to keep you entertained while you wait, get any slice available on rotation.

catherine b. • March 29, 2012Excellent wings, huge variety of bottled beer, great staff, good fun...all around good time, food and people!

Philadelphia Magazine • January 10, 2011Try their fresh Chai Masala. The spices that go into this masterpiece are ground by hand each morning and can be served milk-free or with soy milk for a healthy substitute to whole.

Sandra R. • December 7, 2020The #2 is a garlicky, wonderful delight. The greens get so crisp and ughhhh the garlic.

Sandra R. • November 13, 2021Kebabs so tasty and salmon skin so crispy, come with at least 3 people so you can actually make a dent in the salatim and try multiple items off the grill!

Georgene • February 18, 2015Have had fantastic specials and breakfasts here! For vegetable lovers: more choices please, with less salt and oil. The spinach last night was intensely salty and oily. And I love the flavor of salt!

Malpais C. • September 25, 2013Swordfish speck with grilled figs and pinenuts is amazing!

Courtney K. • April 4, 2016Great ambiance, and perfectly done coffee.
